South Africa Joins Afreximbank, Advancing Africa’s Economic Sovereignty

South Africa’s accession to Afreximbank last week marked a decisive step toward Africa’s shared economic destiny. This milestone brings one of the continent’s largest economies into the heart of our vision to reshape African trade, deepen regional integration, and strengthen financial sovereignty at a time when Africa must increasingly rely on its own strength. Together with the Government of South Africa, we launched a US$8 billion Country Programme, including a US$3 billion inclusive transformation package designed in advance with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition and the National Transformation Fund to support small and medium-sized enterprises and historically marginalised segments of the economy. The programme will advance local value addition, industrial and energy infrastructure, regional market access under the African Continental Free Trade Area, and institutional capacity—building on years of Afreximbank’s concrete support across critical sectors in South Africa. We come first as Africans before bankers. The task ahead is execution, and together we will transform the structure of African trade and unlock shared prosperity across our continent.
